I anticipated this video since you first started the build. It’s still hard for me to wrap my head around a 3-1/2 month build, have it turn out absolutely gorgeous and fly superb! That’s a 6-12 month build for me at the least. Hats off brother 🎩!!! Can’t wait to see what’s in store next on the building table and can’t wait to watch the Goldberg Sukhoi fly
